Fucking FINALLY.
All over this.
All over this.
I think it's a new one, formed by former Top Spin developers.
Seems like it's a new studios made of a bunch of ex-2K Czech guys.
I've never been into Tennis video games (Though I'd love to branch out)
Why do people highly regard the Top Spin series compared to other tennis games? Is it super simulator-y? Arcade-y? In between?
It's the best tennis simulation to date.

correct about everything
you should just be allowed to choose from 30 federers in different outfits and you should like it.

It's basically the equivalent of FIFA or the madden games for tennis. Simulation tennis , which I much prefer to the arcadey virtua tennis.
Sim-y, which just means tons of depth. Takes a little time to master but once you do you have such a complete control of your shots.

Agreed! I even spent over £100 on x2 Arcade Sticks to go with the Dreamcast versions!
Played Top Spin on Xbox and enjoyed it but didn't get into it much as mates weren't into it. Dreamcast fanboys lol!

Jesus Christ, why has it taken over 3 years to finally get a tennis game???
I hope these devs make lots of money and other devs are kicking themselves for not making one.

Please give me Serena.

Awesome! Never thought to see a new tennis game anytime soon, at this point.
I hope licensing costs won't reduce the budget for more substantial features (that's my personal opinion, of course). I still believe you can sell a brandless tennis sim - sporting a proper next generation engine and player/tournament editor, on top of a lifelike attention to detail on court - just as well as your average sponsored title, full of popular faces and attractive logos, yet unable to deliver a decet level of immersion, once you get past all that stuff. I mean, I love Top Spin 4 and I still play it today, but even that game, to me, feels a bit disconnected to the reality it tries to simulate, at times.

Good to see Tennis get another shot. Hopefully if the game is quality, enough people will help support it to help make it a successful franchise.

FINALLY. Where do I pre-order?
This here. I'm very happy it will have Federer and other pros, but they could just release it with a great editor and let the community do it. That said, even with the dearth of tennis games, they still need something to help market it. I just hope the game itself plays great. That's the most important part.
In the meantime, I'll continue playing Virtua Tennis [Vita] and Hot Shots Tennis [PS2/PS4 as well as the PSP one] when I need my tennis fix. Top Spin 4 was great, but I got tired of the artificial difficulty spike at the end of tournaments.
